Google officially names Android 9 as Android Pie

Android 9 is officially here and it’s called Android Pie. Keeping up with the tradition of naming Android versions after sweets, Google today revealed the official name for the upcoming Android P update. The update will be available for Essential Phone and the Pixel devices today. While Essential has already announced the availability of Android Pie update today, we still have to wait for other OEMs to announce the Android Pie availability. However, Google confirmed that the devices which were in the Android P beta program will receive the Android Pie update in a timely manner. Google also confirmed earlier that Android One and Project Treble will allow more devices to get upgraded to Android Pie. The new update will bring many new features to Android like Digital Wellbeing dashboard, a new gesture-based navigation system, and other AI-enhanced improvements to the UI. However, these features are still in the works and will be available for Android devices by the end of the year. Digital Wellbeing dashboard is still in beta and you can follow the steps below to get it on your Pixel device right now. Visit OUR FORUM for more.
